The Design of Animal Communication

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hauser, Marc D. / Konishi, Mark, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), When animals, including humans, communicate, they convey inong>formong>ation ong>andong> express their perceptions of the world. Because different organisms are able to produce ong>andong> perceive different signals, the animal world contains a diversity of communication systems. Based on the approach laid out in the s by Nobel laureate Nikolaas Tinbergen, this book looks at animal communication from the four perspectives of mechanisms, ontogeny, ong>functionong>, ong>andong> phylogeny. The book's great strength is its broad comparative perspective, which enables the reader to appreciate the diversity of solutions to particular problems of signal design ong>andong> perception. For example, although the neural circuitry underlying the production of acoustic signals is different in frogs, songbirds, bats, ong>andong> humans, each involves a set of dedicated pathways designed to solve particular problems of communicative efficiency. Such comparative findings ong>formong> the basis of a conceptual framework for understong>andong>ing the mechanisms underlying communication systems ong>andong> their evolution.

Analyzing examples from a variety of genres, this book provides a thorough long>andong>mark overview of American comic books that sheds new light on this versatile art ong>formong>.
